TIME TO GET A NEW HOBBY

A 25-year-old man from southern China ate 87 nails and 7 push pins earlier this month, which resulted in doctors performing a four-hour surgery two days later to extract the metal objects, according to Chinese video platform Mango TV.

He got hungry again after the first dozen nails.

The doctor told him he needed more iron in his diet.

Reminds me of that gread SNL commercial for the cereal "ColonBlow".

I knew an old woman who swallowed a fly...(long story)


Misguided effort to become Iron Man.

He was trying to be a chick magnet.

These kids and their fad diets.

Maybe it was just a small mistake - the menu missed "s" in front of "Nails". Sails are tasty and easy to catch, unlike deer, for example.

"Although the man told doctors he accidentally ate a bun that was filled with nails,"


I hate it when that happens.

Earlier that day he swallowed a bunch of carpenter ants.

The doctors were on "pins and needles" for this real -life "Operation game"?

Nailed it, dude. But looks like he needs more iron?
